Been tying up some loose ends with my Hidden Fates master set. Picked it up off ebay and it was looking sus as soon as I pulled it out of the sleeve. First pic is the card in question. Second pic is side by side a known-real baby shiny.
Seller claims they pulled it from a walmart etb. They’re giving me a hard time about a refund even though I have almost every other baby shiny. None of them are glossy like this garbage.
Hey guys, this was the Prior Thread that I posted that I'd like to thank you all for participating in. Let's continue to ham up the dialogue and consolidate our reports here. We're but a small section of the voices of those around the world whom are being bullied and abused by Figurama Collectors on a daily basis. I come to you today with a very frustrating continuity in this saga.
In the beginning of Feb of this year, I was baited into paying shipping invoices on two of the waitlisted statues that I completed payment plans on. These shipping invoices came directly as a response to my challenges on their recycled lies and excuses. It was purely damage control. For those unware, orders and funds are forfeited 30 days after an unsettled shipping (hence why I folded). It's now been three months and the statues that were allegedly ready to ship are nowhere to be found (what a surprise). After re-opening a dispute with my bank, I was refunded all my money, and this is where things get really annoying.
I sent a ticket to Figurama giving them a firm directive to just cancel the orders, keep all the installment money, and to please just refund the shipping. I received this soulless-generic response. They are now refusing to cancel my orders, and they will not give me back my shipping costs.
"Thank you for taking the time to share your concern,
We sincerely apologize for the delay in shipping your __________ and understand how frustrating this must be.
We encountered some issues with the shipping company while obtaining the tracking details, but these have now been almost fully resolved.
Please rest assured that your order is fully packed and ready to be handed over at any time. Once we receive the tracking details, we will proceed with dispatching your order immediately. At this stage, as the order is already packed, cancellation is unfortunately no longer possible.
Thank you for your understanding and patience. If you need any further assistance, we’re always here to help."
Guys, I'm filled with a white-hot anger right now. I really don't know what else to do. I haven't studied business ethics in about a decade. I can't tell you what, if anything illegal is actually taking place. However, we can likely all agree that these practices have to be right on the precipice of illegal. I know we're just a bunch of regular people on the internet, but I've also learned that a bunch of regular people on the internet can be incredibly efficient when working towards a greater cause. I need your help everyone.
I'm looking for anyone versed in law, business ethics, or knowledge of trade regulations. I wan't to know what we could possibly achieve with a large petition, class action, or by reaching out en mass to their licensors, Interpol, and or the International Trade Committee. They can't keep getting away with this. I want to see this company go down guys. What are our options, and what can we do?
